Chapter 1233: The horn of counterattack (2) [two in one](1/2)
One day later, Wei general Jiang Bi led the main force of the three northern armies to quietly pass through Maling, attack "Yangyi", and capture the fiefdom of "Yangyi Hou Han Xu".
Immediately, Jiang Bi continued to send his army westward and captured "Yuci", exposing "Jinyang", the seat of Taiyuan County, to his eyes.
Another day, Jiang Bi ordered to set fire to the two counties of "Yangyi" and "Yuci", and drove the Koreans from the two counties to "Jinyang", while he led tens of thousands of soldiers from the Third Army of the North to follow them from a distance.
Tens of thousands of Koreans in the two counties were forced to flee to Jinyang, driven by the Northern Army under Jiang Bi's command.
Jinyang guard general "Fang Fen" was greatly shocked when he heard that there were tens of thousands of compatriots who had fled outside the city. After some hesitation, he finally ordered the city to be opened to take them in because he couldn't bear it.
However, at this moment, Wei general Jiang Bi arrived at the city in time and led his army to attack the city.
Seeing this, Jinyang guard Fang Fen was shocked and immediately ordered the city gates to be closed. However, since Yangyi had not yet fled into the city, how could the Yuci refugees be willing to be locked up outside the city?
As a result, the refugees clashed with the Jinyang defenders, so that Jiang Bi took the city without any effort.
After that, Wei general Jiang Bi used "Jinyang" as a stronghold and used troops to attack nearby counties. He successively conquered "Gianyang", "Jixian", "Langmeng" and other places, and almost occupied the entire Taiyuan Basin.
Then Jiang Bi issued a few orders:
First of all, all the Korean troops in Jinyang and above the rank of "bo-chang (hundred-man general)" were executed;
Secondly, destroy all defensive facilities and buildings in the occupied area, including the county gate;
Then, the weapons and armor of the Korean prisoners were collected and thrown into the fire pit to destroy them.
After the Wei army completed all this, Wei general Jiang Bi resolutely gave up the captured cities, neither massacring nor looting. He gathered his troops and headed north to Yanmen County.
On the way to Yanmen County, the Wei army attacked and destroyed the outposts, passes, military camps, etc. used by Taiyuan County to defend against Linhu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes. They were all burned to the ground, leaving most of Taiyuan County almost in ruins.
Fortified status.
It is conceivable that if Linhu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes learn that Taiyuan County is so weak that the defenders do not even have weapons or armor for combat, they will definitely organize soldiers and horses to gather to plunder and even occupy Korean cities.
The clever thing is that even if Lin Hu "sees through" the suspicion that his side is being used by Wei general Jiang Bi, I believe they will not refuse the wealth from Jinyang, Yuci, Yangyi and other places. After all, Jiang Bi left when he left.
, did not rob the local Koreans of any property, which meant that Lin Hu and the Xiongnu could sweep away all the wealth of these Korean cities at once and obtain a huge wealth that far exceeded their previous conquests of Korea.
Driven by interests, Lin Hu, Xiongnu and other foreign tribes, after understanding the general situation, are likely to reach a "tacit agreement" with the three northern armies led by Wei general Jiang Bi: allowing the Wei army to continue to attack Korean cities, while they follow
Wei Jun took advantage of his situation.
Even foreign tribes such as Lin Hu and Xiongnu would provide some help to the Wei army. After all, the more Korean cities the Wei army captured, the more Korean wealth they could plunder this time.
It has to be said that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, used the trick of "Tiger Swallowing Wolf", which is really vicious. Just think about it, once foreign tribes such as Lin Hu, Xiongnu and so on invade Taiyuan County, which has almost no defensive power, Taiyuan will be devastated.
What a disaster the county suffered.
Maybe, the entire Taiyuan County will become a grazing land for foreigners from now on, and the tens of thousands of Koreans who have lived here for many years will become slaves of foreigners and live a life worse than death.
Of course, I believe that Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo would not take these expectations seriously. After all, he is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
In order to win this war, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, could give up the territory of Hebei and the Wei people without hesitation. He could also use the strategy of "diversion of trouble to the east" to deliberately guide hundreds of thousands of Korean troops to change the target of their attack to defend the country.
How could they care about the life and death of the Koreans in Taiyuan, Yanmen and Daijun?
Looking at the entire Wei State, I believe that not many people would have guessed that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, who had been defeated repeatedly during this period, had actually launched a counterattack, and his counterattack was still so vicious that it made people shudder.
At least, Zhao Hongrun didn't guess - he guessed that Wei General Jiang Bi's Northern Army might attack Handan, but he didn't expect that the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo would do the opposite and attack South Korea's borders.
But since he didn't figure it out, Zhao Hongrun simply stopped wasting time. After all, in his opinion, the third uncle, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was a difficult person to figure out.
The most urgent task now is to try to contact the Wei army south of the river, or to put it simply, contact Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and cooperate with him to inflict heavy losses on the Korean army as much as possible.
Immediately, Zhao Hongrun came up with a strategy: let Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, deliberately let some Korean troops cross the river. Then he led the Qin and Wei coalition forces to attack the Korean troops staying in Hebei, defeating them one by one.
But after hearing this, Qin Shaojun reminded: "When our army assisted Shanyang, many Korean troops scattered and fled. If the commander-in-chief of the Korean army learned about the battle situation in Shanyang, the Korean army would still cross the river.
What?"
These words really made Zhao Hongrun speechless.
No matter how you think about it, the Korean army in Hebei will be the first to turn around and attack Shanyang again, destroying the Qin and Wei coalition forces led by Zhao Hongrun, right?
But of course Zhao Hongrun will not be afraid of the Korean army in Hebei. Hearing this, he said calmly: "That's just right. I don't mind giving the Korean army another disastrous defeat!"
Seeing that Zhao Hongrun did not take his reminder to heart at all, Qin Shaojun felt a little uncomfortable. Hearing this, he snorted coldly: "You are so stubborn!"
Zhao Hongrun frowned when he heard this, and asked Qin Shaojun with an unhappy look on his face: "Then do you have any good ideas? Tell me about it?"
"Uh..." Qin Shaojun was at a loss for words and opened his mouth. After a while, he said with a guilty conscience: "We might as well strengthen our defense first and wait for the opportunity."
"Ha, ha." Zhao Hongrun laughed twice exaggeratedly. The laughter was full of ridicule, which made Qin Shaojun's face turn red with anger.
After all, Qin Shaojun's suggestion just now is actually the same as unsaid.
Opposite them, King Zhao Hongjiang of Yan, Princess Sun of Yan, and others looked at this pair of young enemies with quite a bit of laughter, and they really couldn't understand their complicated relationship.
Just when the atmosphere was gradually getting worse, Zongwei Gao Kuo walked into the building again and said: "Your Highness, Mr. Yangquan Jun Yingbo, I am asking for an audience with Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others."
"Please." Zhao Hongrun said.
Immediately, Yangquan Jun Ying Bo, Zhai Huang of the Shang Shui Army, Nanmen Chi and other generals walked into the city tower hand in hand.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun stood up and introduced: "Fourth brother, this is Mr. Ying Bo, Lord Yangquan of the Qin State. Mr. Ying Bo, this is my fourth brother, King Yan Ji Jiang... and these three, are
My fourth brother’s wife.”
"I have admired you for a long time."
"Disrespect, disrespect."
King Yan Zhao Hongjiang and Yangquan Jun Yingbo exchanged polite greetings. Although the two did not recognize each other at all before, under the general trend of Qin and Wei alliances, and with the introduction of Zhao Hongrun, the two quickly became familiar with each other.
"Come here, set up a table for Lord Ying Bo and several generals of the merchant navy."
When he ordered the guards to set up seats, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang secretly paid attention to Yangquan Jun Yingbo's expression, probably wanting to see how the Qin royal family would react to Qin Shaojun sitting on Zhao Hongrun's right hand side.
Facts have proved that Yang Quanjun Yingbo did not react at all to this, and even smiled happily and joked with Zhao Hongrun and Qin Shaojun.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun also signaled Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals to take their seats.
After they took their seats, Zhao Hongrun asked Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and others: "How is the situation in the city now?"
"Living up to the heavy trust, the Korean army was completely defeated by our "allied forces"'s fierce attack." Zhai Huang said with his fists clasped.
After saying that, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun, showing an expression that was hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "What? Is there something unexpected?"
"No, no." Zhai Huang shook his head, and then, after looking at each other with Nanmen Chi and other generals, he said hesitantly: "It's just that... uh... the subordinates, um, made some...
Something that violates military discipline..."
Zhao Hongrun was stunned when he heard this. He said to himself that the Shangshui Army was an elite army that had been with him for more than five years. It had strict military discipline and logically would not do anything that violated military discipline.
"What's against military discipline?" he asked with a frown.
Zhai Huang secretly looked at Zhao Hongrun and said bravely: "Kill the prisoners..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi from the Nanmen Gate immediately explained: "Your Highness, there is a reason for this."
As he spoke, he told the story one after another about the Han army massacring the people of Shanyang and humiliating the women of Shanyang that he had witnessed, which made King Yan Zhao Hongjiang furious and said loudly: "Well done! These beasts deserve to be killed."
kill!"
Zhao Hongrun was silent and asked after a while: "Is this true?"
After hearing this, Zhai Huang quickly said: "It is absolutely true, and all the people in the city can testify!"
Nanmen Chi also spoke up: "Your Highness, according to some Korean soldiers, the commander of his army, Ju Xin, issued an order to "set up troops for three days after capturing Shanyang."
"Three days of troops?" Zhao Hongrun's face became extremely ugly, and at this time, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang had an angry look on his face, and his eyes were almost ready to spit fire.
How could they not understand what "Zongbing" refers to?
At this moment, a burst of cheers and shouts came from the tower, and Wei Jun could vaguely be heard praising something.
"What's going on?"
Everyone in the city tower felt a little puzzled.
After a while, Zongwei Gao Kuo walked in, clasped his hands and said happily: "Congratulations, Your Highness, General Wu Ji has captured Han General Ju Xin alive!"
Hearing this, everyone in the city tower was greatly surprised, especially Yan King Zhao Hongjiang, because he had fought against Han General Ju Xin and knew the opponent's strength very well.
"Is this the person who gave the order to "stand down for three days"?
King Yan Zhao Hongjiang showed some hatred in his eyes, but after taking a look at Zhao Hongrun, he still endured it: after all, Ju Xin was captured by General Wu Ji under his eighth brother Zhao Hongrun, and his eighth brother should be punished.
And at this moment, I heard Zhao Hongrun say coldly: "Send the order to Wu Ji, kill him."
Hearing this, King Yan Zhao Hongjiang's eyes lit up, and then a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
After all, it was the drama of the ten great men of Kitahara!
"Kill...kill?"
Zhai Huang and Nanmen Chi looked at each other in shock.
As if he had guessed the thoughts of Zhai Huang, Nanmen Chi and other generals, Zhao Hongrun said coldly: "In this battle, I have never thought about making peace with Han, so what should I do with that Juxin? Since he had ordered "after the city is captured,
"If you stay in the army for three days, you will be worthy of death! ...By the way, let a few Korean prisoners live and let them bring Ju Xin's head to Han Hu."
"yes!"
